I found FFT a while ago,I was sure I had lost it forever!I'm was so happy,that I started a new game without loosing one second!

Usually,I keep the lil' chemist alive so that Ramza and Delita can get a lot of Exp,but Delita did a critical hit right at the beggining and it killed him...

So I decided to train myself in the mandalia plains.At first,it wasn't too hard.But after level 15,chocobos were getting strong and I had still the old clothes from the beggining as armor so their attack power was raising but my defense wasn't raising much...

I had an idea.I change Ramza's job to mediator and got myself two chocobos!I now have a party of Ramza,two characters,a yellow chocobo and a red chocobo.Fights were more easy now!

So I continued to figh over and over when I realised I should stop...I figured this out when I noticed that a samurai with bare hand wasn't very good and that a lancer that jump with his punch doesn't do much damage.But a bard can do good without his harp!lolBut what made me realized that I should stop was that I was at level 40!And I had a lot of job master!I should get new equipment...a dagger isn't the strongest weapon...I only had one mythril knife!But Ramza had it most of the time...

But I have to thanks the Monks,that have help me a lot because they don't use weaponsand also to Choco Cure,that is really usefull when you have a fighter only party(But they had items!)And I can't forget Choco Meteor,who helped me a lot during level 30 to 40...

Anti-Shaq, I'll check out that site later on. Thanks for the update on the battle style.I haven't tried the Summoner combo yet, because all my female units are currently "occupied" with other classes. I'll get to that soon though, since it's certainly interesting to try these things.

Max, thanks for the new rule. That will hopefully get this game moving along more quickly and efficiently.

Me-Myself-and-I, that's an interesting story. Why don't you introduce yourself?I never liked 'power-training' my character near the beginning of the game because of that very reason, but if you can get by that, hey, more power to you.

Just so you all know, I'll be gone for the next two days due to CAP duties. Have fun, and behave yourselves... ...or Matt'll use Ultima on all your deserving asses... hehe.

Oh your welcome, anytime. I'll have more updates of FFTA when I get them. What was I going to say, yeah uhm, I'm glad that the sprites in FFTA look like the ones in FFT or it would just be a strategy game using FFT's name to promote it. Bleh! How come you couldn't create the combo that I gave you? You don't have that equipment yet?

Update: In FFTA, you will form a clan with this person(I won't tell, I don't want to spoil) to do quests in return for money, Law Cards, and rare items. Now there 277 quests, but only 24 you have to complete in order to beat the game.

Here are the types of quests, there are 5 of them: There is the Story Battle Quests which you have to complete in order to beat the game, and these will unlock a new area on the map. Next, are the Battle Quests that you attempt if you want to get some Law Cards, money, and rare items. Enemies are generally monsters. Non Battle Quests are just like the propositions from FFT. You will also gain some money, etc. if you successfully complete it. Then we have the Territory Quests which involve sending a unit to capture land; and once you do capture it, you must prevent other clans from taking it. You will also gain some rare items, etc. when successful. Finally, we have the Encounter Quests which invole encountering mostly clans on the world map. This is a good way to get a random enemy of the opposing clan to randomly join you and to get some Law Cards, etc.

Your clan also has 8 Skill Levels which will develop as you complete more and more quests. These affect your success at Non-Battle and Territory Quests, and a lot of quests require a certain Skill Level to actually even attempt them, the stats are like so:

All my female units are just preoccupied with mastering other jobs at the moment. I'll try it as soon as I get a chance.

Okay, so one thing's still confusing me. There are 277 quests and 24 that you must complete... so, can you actually complete all 277 if you so desired? Sounds very interesting. What do all these skill levels affect in these non-battle quests?

Of course, as long as you do it before you beat all 24 required quests.

Sounds very interesting. What do all these skill levels affect in these non-battle quests?

Those Skill Levels will affect your success. For example, if you meet the required level of a Skill Level when attempting a certain Non-Battle Quest, the unit will jump up and down indicating that he has very good chance of successfully completing it, and if he kneels, that means you have a very good chancing of failing it. You also need a certain job class as well just like in FFT.

By the way, is that your site, Anti-Shaq?

Which site? The Shaq site is not mine nor the FFTA Advance one.

In all other FF,I don't usually train at the beggining because the game because much too easy!(I learned the in FFVI when I had Fire 2 and Finishing Touch when I haven't met Aeris yet!)But in FFT,the game becomes a challenge!The battles that are necessary for the game to go on a way too easy(ha ha!Ice 4!or Bahamut! or Earth Slash!),but beasts are very hard...

You can get double the challenge out of the game if you play through the story without purposely leveling up with the whole frog the remaining enemy then milk as much JP and exp out of the battle as you can scenario. Some story battles are actually quite hard and you'll find yourself behind level wise in the game and using all your wits to survive, then before you get to the final chain of battles at orbonne the enemies are still going to be as tough as ever in random battles because they mimic your level. My favourite battle at lower level is Elmdor's. Trying to steal from that insane killing machine when your 10 levels behing him, I found myself not using any armor in that battle just so i could get critical and use HP restore after one of his hits and the whole system is screwed when a character gets confused or death sentanced.

I did that already,but that was around 2 years ago.I remember that Wirgraf(spelling?sorry...too far away)was very hard...I had to run around the stage using Yell then when I was really fast,I used accumulate to finally kill him in one blow...

And of course were doing this for fun.It's a challenge!It's only to test our own skill...

Using the level down trap is also very cool.It makes the event battles harder,but you keep all your job points!So you can have all job master at Lvl.20!

Making our own challenge is very nice in FF games.They are all too easy.The only game made by square that was hard on a normal first play was Vagrant Story.Legend of Mana is also hard on No-Future Mode...FFs should haves a Normal/Hard/Extreme feature...It would make games such as FFT much harder to play even if you know the game like the back of your hand.

Don't let it get to you psychologically..I mean, it's just a game. I'm having a lot of trouble using my avatar, it will say that it successfully updated it, but when I go back to the forums, it's not there. Could someone help me? Thanks.
